As I’m sure you’re aware styles never really change, they just get recycled.  The last time peplums made a big splash was in the 1980s (they also made a brief appearance in 2009). I loved the look then, and I’m liking the updated look now.

Peplum is a short overskirt or ruffle attached at the waistline of a jacket, blouse, or dress. Its modern debut was in the 1940s as a way to accentuate the waistline (and hide the hips!).

Designers are again bringing this classic style back with a 21st century flare.

Are you old enough to have worn the peplum in the 1980s? Are you ready to wear it again?
